Professional Trainings & Workshops

A collection of my professional development courses and workshops focused on innovation, pedagogy, and effective teaching strategies.

Critical Thinking Workshop

Strategies to Enhance Critical Thinking Through Higher-Order Questions

This training highlights the importance of developing students’ critical thinking skills in Islamic Education through the use of higher-order questions in Bloom’s taxonomy. Teachers explore practical models for designing questions that stimulate analysis, interpretation, and inference rather than relying on memorization. The course also includes applied activities that help teachers transform lessons into opportunities for deep thinking and meaningful classroom dialogue.

Quran Reading Empowerment

From Rote Learning to Empowerment in Quran Reading

This workshop focuses on developing teachers’ abilities to improve students’ Quran recitation by shifting from traditional rote learning to empowerment and active participation strategies. Teachers learn modern approaches for correcting recitation, strengthening Tajweed skills, and motivating students for self-directed and continuous learning. The course also provides practical examples and tools to make Quran learning more effective and enjoyable, especially for non-Arabic speakers.

Best Practices Discussion

Discussion Session: Exchanging Best Practices in Teaching Islamic and Arabic Education

This discussion session aims to promote the exchange of experiences and best practices among Islamic and Arabic Education teachers across schools, contributing to the enhancement of teaching methods and learning outcomes.
